Today we made it through Yoga without a call-out for Mommy. Yesterday, I looked after Mackenzie with Edzèa and the two of them interacted for the first time. Well, Edzèa was interested in Mackenzie more than herself for a change! So, I think that this change has transferred to the one hour daycare time at the gym. She was a perfect child today for them! Also, her second bottom tooth is out and on it’s way up now so maybe the painful teething part is done for now anyways.

She is napping perfectly today too. She’s been napping pretty well all month. One nap in the morning and one in the afternoon. The expensive aquarium mobile that we got her seems to help do the trick. It also keeps her occupied when she wakes up now too. She turns it on and off by herself.

We’ve turned a corner this week. Edzèa sits up and plays well with her toys by herself right now. It is a nice change to be able to do some things while she keeps herself entertained for a change! I never thought the day would come. I still need to be in the room and within eye-range but as long as she can see me and play she is happy. It’s great! Here are some pics of her playing with her latest favourite toy.

I finished making her Halloween costume last night. I will post pics after Halloween for your interest.

Tomorrow I have my afternoon baby-free. I have to think through what I’m going to do!!! I want to paint a little chair that I bought at the flea market last week for Edzèa but the time is really supposed to be spent with me doing something for myself!

Last Friday, Tim and I went out alone for dinner and dancing for a few hours. Tracey came over and looked after Edzèa while she slept and this week I am returning the favour. This is a new *couples* night out system we are trying out!

Yesterday, we had our first *real* snow but it didn’t stick and it’s +5 and raining again today. I’m not complaining. This has been a great fall! without any of our usual COLD weather.

Tim and I are looking forward to heading to BC in November. I leave next weekend and spend a week with my family before Tim arrives and we head to Qualicum Beach for a week. I thought the weather would be a great relief after a Northern winter but honestly this is just like a BC fall right now. Bye for now.
